As our dependence on fossil fuels will be reduced, we will need new ways of harnessing renewable energies. Actually, there are lots of ways to get energy - wind, solar, wave and tidal will replace oil in the future. The problem is that we have to find efficient and cheaper options to get power from [...]

What would you say if plants would grow in deserts? Actually, not plants, but entire crops for a big quantity of food and this is not all as this project developed by a team of engineers which also claim that the Sahara Forest Project will provide clean water in deserts.
The idea is not entirely new [...]

Here is an interesting concept wind turbine that could solve all the problems of conventional wind turbines. It’s small, beautiful, quiet and it catches winds from all directions. The conceptual wind turbine is called Natura Levo and it was designed by Laura Sink from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
The wind turbine can be installed on [...]

A few days ago tidal power “entered on the market” as the first ever tidal turbine power station was put on the National Grid in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. In a test, the £10million turbine designed by SeaGen was able to power 150 homes and in a few weeks (when it will perform at full [...]

In a world full of machines and buildings that have a negative impact on the environment there are needed green and sustainable structures therefore architects started to design buildings that protect the environment. London is a city where a sustainable office building will be built on the Southbank of the River Thames at One Westminster [...]

Nowadays, a major problem is global warming and we all know that cars contribute a lot to this with their CO2 emissions and if you add the fact that the oil price is so high then cars are not so great anymore. But what if we could drive solar-powered cars? Actually, we could do this [...]

I think that there is no need in reminding you that greenhouse gases are affecting the air which is more and more polluted. Due to this problem, car manufacturers are forced to design greener cars that will not have negative impacts on the environment.
We all know what Toyota managed to do as the Prius is [...]

Everybody knows that the wind is an incredible source of power therefore researchers are trying to find new ways of producing energy using its force. One great project is BroadStar’s AeroCam which is a very powerful micro-turbine that spins on horizontal axis to allow its blades to intuitively track wind’s path.
These micro-turbines are the first [...]

Green architecture has been around for a while now and this is a good thing because they consist of state-of-the-art techniques and they are helping us to take care of our planet. Eco-structures are also very cool and another great example is the Habitat 2020 which was designed by Philips for China as a sustainable [...]
